The numbers are there for victory

Number of Republicans declines to 32-month low

"The number of Americans calling themselves Republican has fallen to its lowest level in more than two-and-a-half years. Just 31.9% of American adults now say they're affiliated with the GOP. That's down from 37.2% in October 2004 and 34.5% at the beginning of 2006. These results come from Rasmussen Reports tracking surveys of 15,000 voters per month and have a margin of sampling error smaller than a percentage point.

The number of Democrats has grown slightly, from 36.1% at the beginning of the year to 37.3% now.

Those who claim to be unaffiliated have increased to 30.8% this month. That's the highest total recorded since Rasmussen Reports began releasing this data in January 2004". Rasmussen Reports via Yahoo
Democrats now out-number Republicans by over five percentage points which is about 5 million people out of the average 100 million or so who vote. And certainly a majority of the remaining 31% who 'claim to be unaffilated' have to be voting Democrat this November...

If Democrats turn out to vote the only way they shouldn't be able to gain those 15 seats in the House is if there are districts with close races and you have some more Katherine Harris' or Ken Blackwell's in charge of counting the votes.
